Still Training

I just finish posting my class assignment with 2 minutes to spare.  This afternoon I had a nice run however, the heat was rough.  If you look at my schedule I did 4 miles.  This thursday I will do 3 and Saturday is my first long run.  I will run 13 miles.  Mind you at the pace that I am running I don't really know if you call this running.  It's more like an airborne shuffle.  But the objective is to finish and not to try and beat the Kenyans. Today while running I though of a story that I once read and love so I want to share it with you.  You may have heard it a thousand times however, this is one of those stories that will never get old.

                         The Wise Woman's Stone
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said. "I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone." Sometimes it not the wealth you have but what's inside you that others need.

Well I must call it a night I will work on my website later this week.
